Clear Internet Browser Cache

I often have to clear internet browser cache as I work on websites and cannot see the updates I have made until I clear the cache.If you are needing to clear Internet browser cache you must be experiencing some of the annoying problems that it can cause. Browser cache can make you think you are in a time warp or maybe even going crazy. You might experience a sense of deja vu when browsing the internet as you might be shown cached pages that can serve you yesterdays news. This means that if a website is updated you seriously could be viewing an old version.

What is Internet browser cache?

Internet browser cache is really the same as the Temporary Internet Files folder.

It is a collection records form your internet browsing sessions. This includes images, sounds, cookies, webpages,and more. If you inspected these files you would be shocked to see that even a mere favicon from a website you might visit is collected.

Why is the Internet browser cache stored?

You are probably wondering why the hell we need to store all this junk when browsing the internet? I sometimes think this as well, however if these files were not stored you would definitely slow your internet browsing down. These files are stored in your cache to make web browsing faster. The items stored in the temporary internet folder can be accessed quicker than downloading the same thing over and over. For example certain elements of a website that you visit often will be stored to ensure a smoother experience.

Why do you need to clear internet browser cache?

• Viewing old versions of websites
• Your internet browsing is struggling
• Your cache is full
